If I say “I got the third place in a scholarship application”, it doesn’t look bad.

But there is money only for the first two persons. Sometimes, close is not enough. So, without money, I won’t be able to study in Europe… damn…

Maybe next year… maybe not.

Note: The application was, as you can see, for a doctoral scholarship in Spain… my broken English has no effect here…

Hmhm. If you’re prepared to consider non-Spanish Europe, I’d try Germany. They are always looking for Ph. D. students and usually have a position netting ~1000 / month with it. Those come with teaching, but that seems to be English for advanced courses as well. Also, some of the European research network funding has special budgets for positions for non-Europeans… But I don’t do C.S., so I would not know about the specifics there, but I would imagine it is similar to my area of experience.

I don’t have that much advice, but the EU projects are from the FP7 program, but you would want to see at the local universities for openings. They do publish a database of stuff at
http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/projects_en.html
Aren’t some of the Paris Debian people working on FP7 grants? Maybe they know more.

Cuál es el sentido de censurar los nombres en la imágen si en esa misma imágen pones un link al pdf donde están ? :)
